    EPG - add a -24hr and +24hr button?

    Is there a way to add a +24hr and a -24hr button to the EPG menu? Previous image had these on the blue and yellow buttons.

    As I mentioned on the other forum, that is a modification to graphical EPG screen.

    It is possible, you have to transfer a file over. Someone will post a link to most recent file.

    Thank you.
    I found a plugin named OpenVix Custom EPG which would add the options that I need. However the plugin (version 1.16) states do not use this version of the plugin on any vix image after 4.1.016. Is there another option?

    I'm using a modified epgselection.py from either KiddaC or dsayers2014, can't remember which one.
    It also requires a few mods to the skins though. I don't know if there is one that just adds the + or -24 hours.

    Thanks Willo, although I don't want to go down the road of modding the skins.

    Perhaps I am missing a trick with openvix on how to select a recording in advance, without going through all of the epg information?

    EPG - add a -24hr and +24hr button?

    If for example you are watching a TV Programme on BBC One HD and you wish to set a recording later in the week, press Down then the BBC One HD will be highlighted, now press your EPG button, that gives you your 7 days EPG. You can do the same on any channel when highlighted.

    As someone mentioned, the kidaac slyq skin, has this out of the the box. Highly highly recommend it, love the tabbed bouquet he has a couple of ipk files to set it up, as of late July, no more messing or editing of files manually, just install the skin, and extras if you want

    I usually use Ch+ and Ch- to move 24 hours in the graphical EPG, but as it's not one of the coloured buttons, it's not listed on screen so tends to get forgotten about

    Guide is here

    https://www.world-of-satellite.com/s...and-Navigation


    TV = open lists of bouquets
    > (next to 0) = Jump to next bouquet.
    < (next to 0) = Jump to previous bouquet.

    Up/down/left/right = move within EPG

    8 = Page down
    2 = Page up
    4 = Page left
    6 = Page right

    CH+ = Forward 24 hours
    CH- = Back 24 hours

    7 = increases/decreases number of items

    5 = Jump to current time
    9 = Jump to prime time. Prime time is configurable

    1 = Reduce timescale
    3 = Increase timescale

    0 = move to home of list, i.e first channel of current bouquet

    EPG = Show Single EPG for current channel

    Text = Go to specific date/time

    Blue (short) = Add auto timer for highlighted event
    Blue (long) = Show autotimer list

    Red (short) = IMDB search for current event
    Red (long) = Sort EPG list

    Green (short) = Add/remove timer for highlighted event
    Green (long) = Show Timer list

    Yellow (short) = Search for similar events

    Have to say this:
    TV = open lists of bouquets
    > (next to 0) = Jump to next bouquet.
    < (next to 0) = Jump to previous bouquet.
    has never worked for me.
    So although I appreciate the input, I don‘t find it helpful.
    I like to use coloured buttons for something meaningful and useful so in the EPG I use the coloured buttons for attributes like for +/- 24 hrs - I also like to flip to channels directly.
    I know that this is against the pure EPG implementation but sometimes user flexibility is more important.
    ..... and being an old guy having to remember number keys is pretty tough.

    I agree especially about user flexibility but this was dismissed a while back by Vix team although OpenATV have adopted parts of it and it appears there are other mods, as mentioned in this thread, have adopted it it too. Not sure who else have!

    You have all sorts of files on your system, so your comment about it not working has to be taken with a pinch of salt.

    Please try on a stock image before perpetuating the notion that it does not work.

    The ipk adds an EPG selection.py that is outdated and removes some fixes and enhancements that have been added. It is not latest file with the modification added. Please diff the files.

    It is your box, you are free to do what you want with it.
